We have the same native language, but after living in the USA, Singapore, and now in France our communication is a mix, mostly in Finnish though, but mixed with English, Singlish, and French words, idioms, and phrases.

Well, I have some language puritans especially in my native Finnish friends, so I have to translate them everything, but it is quite hard sometimes (exactly the reason why we mix the languages between us)

Now I'm happy I never succeeded with Russian! Our Swenglish (Swedish/English) is bad enough...for a brief time it was Swenglissian! But only if he started it...my Russian never got beyond the very basics.

I am an American who learned some Spanish and Chinese, moved to Germany, is learning Dutch in spare time, has a brother learning French, Japanese speaking parents, and friends that came from each continent at school. Nobody knows what language my next word will be in.
